I've been hacking on this this week, some progress

Screenshot at
  <http://susu.org.uk/~robert/xterm/xterm-tags.png>

Heres the actual text file displayed there
  <http://susu.org.uk/~robert/xterm/tags>

There are several things going on in the screenshot, notably

  1. U+76F4 is getting a different glyph for Japanese/Chinese

  2. U+015F is getting displayed as U+0219 for Romanian.

  3. For 'enm' (Middle English), it maps s followed by [a-z] to
     U+017F.

For actually getting the variants, I am pondering not going through the
trying-to-open-millions-of-fonts method, and instead using the
PANGO_LIGATURE_HACK property, which can already specify language-dependant
glyph substitutions.

Dunno when I will have a patch, depends how carried away I get. :)
